If Lorna had just gotten off a solo book, or heck maybe even during said book, Lorna suddenly having a child would be a good next step. In this scenario, you would have a baseline of who she is and what she's about. You've seen her character history acknowledged, past mistreatment corrected, potential without a child explored. At that point, makes sense to see her move forward with raising a child. Passing down what she's learned, helping them become the most of themselves, just as she's done in her own life.
Doing this kind of story now can easily wreck the character.
Marvel hasn't acknowledged her experience with Genosha in 15 years. Marvel still ignores that she's been part of the franchise since 1968, second woman to join the X-Men. We don't even know her adoptive parents' first names or have any idea what they look like, nevermind what her life was like between plane crash and X-Men #49. We have 52 years worth of untapped stories and wasted potential that needs to be explored (or set right in the case of mistreatment). Introducing a child sidelines ALL of that in favor of reducing her to stories about the child, or stories that could include the child. Want a hypothetical story where she's a lone wolf? Well too bad, she's got a kid now, she has to stay home with him and take care of him.
